Demba Ba happy he stuck with Chelsea

Ba has had to be patient during the current campaign, often selected on the bench, but with the Blues still competing in both the Barclays Premier League and Champions League, he could still have a big part to play.

"I never stopped believing,' said Ba. 'I knew the manager wanted to keep three strikers and I knew I would get the opportunity to come in and do something.

"It's going to be a great end to the season for us, the fans and everybody."
